Description
Semi-doodle.Something that I kind of needed. Something about the song makes me mellow out and a friend pointed out that it reminded her of Hanna a little and I kinda agree. One of the main reasons why I kind of love writing about Hanna is that he screws up and keeps going. He also gets beat down and keeps going. He reminds me to do the same, kinda? I guess.
GETTIN' DEEP THERE, TESSA.
I confess one of the points of Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name is to tell a story about someone who really doesn't get it right all the time even though he tries pretty hard. Simple simple.
Obviously he's really not been shot in the back a million times with arrows. It's a visual joke haha. Shrugging off flesh wounds. He can be friends with the black knight.
Song is Modest Mouse!
Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name!

So, so incredible! I follow the strip on the aftertorque site, and I decided to stalk you here... All creepiness aside, I'm glad I did, because I adore this. This is going in my favourites, on my hard drive, and probably even on my desktop. Utterly fantastic.

So this picture really fit my mood today, and since I'm pretty much in love with this comic and the art style, I made it my temporary profile picture on fb. Thought you should know, and I hope you don't mind.

This picture is, like, the epitome of coolness.
At first I couldn't connect it with the Modest Mouse song, even though you put it right there in the artist's comments fuckmeimsoretarded
BUT ANYWAY
When I finally did, I was just all like, LKJADFLSKJLSJKDFALGLK-- OHMAN NOW I LOVE THE SONG EVEN MORE.
Kudos to you.

FFFF--- That song is one of my favorites! D: So the typography for that last bit ("Don't you worry") conveyed it perfectly when the music suddenly drops out ;D

Gold Spot did a cover of this already awesome song that is also very good in its own unique way, and its sunnier tone somehow also fits Hanna. Or maybe it's just that the damn song loves him. PERIOD.

OMG!!! No way!! My art teacher's brother made this song! She was aa really nice art teacher. Unfortunately, she got a different job the year after she was my teacher....
But I really found this song appealing, too. There's just something nice about it.

His jacket looks like the one GIR wears in Invader Zim.

Aww, love the picture! Hanna seems to have some sort of strange optimism built into him... Or maybe that just comes across because he acts to damn chipper, hehe.

His outfit reminds me greatly of GIR.
He's make a great GIR.
He sure is spastic enough.

I absolutely adore your comic, and Hanna is just such a unique character. What is there not to like about him with his can do attitude?

Aw, this is a great visual metaphor! This song also helps pick me up when I'm feeling down.
I think some of the strongest people in the world are not necessarily those who rise to the top, but those who garner the strength to just keep going after being beaten down, time and time again.

Oh, this picture is so full of awesome. First and foremost is the style.
Secondly, MODEST MOUSE! I love how you even put the arrows of the album art in the picture. Fantastic!

I'm in love with this! I keep coming back and looking at this. I've intentionally not deleted it from my deviations feed so I can come back and stare at it again.
Soo... More along the same vein, maybe? You have an awesome ability to create an impressive effect with your text, especially right in the Hanna comics.
Amaaaazing, as usual.

This is definitely my favorite picture of any of the rest (with the exception of Conrad's expression meme, of course!) Modest Mouse is amazing!

Weren't there arrows on the cover of the album "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" which has Float On as track #3?

This is really cool. Everything about it just POPS! I like how the Xs resemble his patch on his pants.
By the way, I looked up this band because I had never heard of them and now I absolutely love them!
Great work!

Ah man, this was already so neat and then you just had to go and add a Monty Python reference to the artist's comment. I was already going to fav it, but that did not hurt.

I love that song. And this is super awesome. I like how the arrows are kind of a nod to the cover of the album too. spiffy. :F

Is that Conrad's jacket that vampire!Bitch stole from him? Jebus, Conrad will never get it back at this point ...
Also, swamped with final projects with a strained wrist standing in the way of completing them all, I've been absolutely freaking out. But I took a break the other day and went online fore a bit, and saw this in my inbox. Now every time I start to freak out, I sing the song to myself, and it makes me feel better. :3 Thanks.

Awww, I'm glad!
Good luck! I'm so sorry about your strained wrist with all the finals in the way! I hope it goes well for you!!

He is such a likable character :} Both visually and personality-wise. I love that song and I love this!

my band and I played that song at battle of the bands with female lead singers... I was one of them , and the bassist. We lol failed it because the lead singer was kind of sick and puked right before and right after the show xD

God, he just gets cuter and cuter. I want to give him a big snuggly hug...
But yeah, i can sympathize. Life is on a mission to chew you up and spit you out at times, and you usually don't help your own chances of survival. Its all a big test, so you may as well handle it with a level head.

Awwwwww Hanna...You's so cute. The eternal optimist even in the face...er...backside of arrows. Plus that song fits him perfectly. Dig the screening it's texturlicious
(I've got two or three characters that should all get together with Hanna and have a loveable loser party <3333 there would be nachos and bright red punch to accidentally spill all over themselves)
